Well, for those of you that made it thus far- mad props! I just want to reiterate that this blog is my "thesis" for my masters degree; therefore, I have to try and keep it centered towards my projects and work in country. However, due to my dear friend Amanda, who has been after me to keep my blog up to date, I will now be on a regular schedule with posts and updates on FUN things as well! So a short description of future projects will now ensue:
I will be starting a Patriot Club. This will help to instill within the students national pride and information about Uganda, Africa and the world. This will also empower them to vote and to know that their voice is important and counts in the world.
I will be expanding the re-usable sanitary pad project to multiple schools (primary and secondary) throughout my district.
I am planning a career day- state style. Here in Uganda, they usually have a few speakers and they stand one by one and speak about their profession. I want to introduce the booths and multiple representations of professions so that students can get a more personal encounter and more in depth understanding of career options.
There will be a HIV test day, free to all students.
The Life Skills and So What! class will continue.
There will be a nationwide GLOW Camp (girls leading our world) in December that I will be an active member of.
The NGO database will be completed and workshops will take place: Finding Funding in a Competitive Market, Proposal Writing, Interoffice Organizational Management, etc.
I have a meeting with the Country Director in October to propose the idea of creating an East African Discussion Panel website.
The rabbit project will begin.
As a secondary project I will be working with another NGO in an effort to initiate an organized sports empowerment project for youth within the Lyantonde district.
About Me
- Khrissee
- I am 23 years old and have finished my first year of my Masters in Public Administration with a Concentration in International Management. I have my BA in Communication and Human Behavior with a Minor in Philosophy. I've fallen on black days but you can stand me up to the gates of hell and I won't back down. There is the known, the unknown, and in between are the doors. I plan to know each of these doors. I'm going to do it all. I will accept everything but fall for nothing, stubborn yes. I work hard at and for everything I do and all I want in life is to be remembered. I am a firm believer that everyone you meet in life is there to teach you something- take every moment for all its worth. I am thankful for everything that I have in life and look forward every day to the challenges that it holds and the people I will meet. The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace things, but burn like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes "AWW!"
Great Job Khrissee! Way to keep yourself busy with all your amazing projects:) Can't wait to work with you at Camp GLOW!
